The search for the new ride

Audis and VW's are beautiful vehicle but in my experience with friends that own them they all have electrical problems that usually happen shortly after there warrenty expires. The Acura TL and TSX are a Nice vehicles. What exactly are you looking for in a car?Do you need a lot of space like a hatch back?Do you want a vehicle that comes with a standard transmission?

 

I also opt for the Subaru Legacy GT because I wanted an AWD sedan under 30k. I just purchased a new 2009 GT 5MT in Diamond Gray Metallic for 26k. This car is a sleeper. Many people associate Subaru's with their WRX, STi, and Outbacks. Thats what makes the Legacy such a gem, few people know about them. Subaru's also offers you more standard equipment and your not paying a premium for it.

Car buying is an extremely stressful time. Don't rush the process. Research is your best friend. I've been in the process of buying a car for 6 months now. And I finally settled on the GT.

 

WRX's are fun.i bought mine soon after i test drove it.its just a blast to drive.I wish a wagon got traded in at my dealership though because i wanted more hauling room, but my sedan works fine and everyone always compliments me all the time, including the old people that give dirty looks to those kids in the primer civics with a rice cannon hanging out the back.lol

 

I haven't really decided yet. I was thinking GTO at first but it fluctuates when I think about the future.... gas mileage, getting in trouble with the cops, etc. etc.

 

Honestly if u keep your foot out of it and u get a 6speed the GTO doesnt do bad gasmileage wise.and if u do alot of highway driving at 60-70 its not uncommon to see 27-32mpg.

 

Yeah that's true. It's a very stressful time haha as others have stated.

 

best thing u can do is if u find something u might like go see if u can test drive 1.and forums are your friends when you want to find out the good the bad and the ugly about a certain car.

 

I would've got a 09 WRX myself if the insurance was a bit cheaper. The Legacy is considered a entry-level luxury family sedan. I will be paying $900 a year for full coverage in the Legacy. The 09 WRX is ranked the fastest car under 30k in MotorTrend. Its definitely a sweet car.

 

Oo i wasnt trying to bash the Legacy. If i remember correctly u can option some pretty powerful engines and that car scoots.I was just sticking up for my WRX.lol.thats all.The only reason i ended up with my 06 is because i got a deal i couldnt pass up.

 

How about a cute little Kia?

 

No worries..I didn't take it the wrong way. I've always been a huge fan of Subarus. The Legacy would be my first one. I've been driving Honda/Acura all my life. They are great cars, but I've had bad luck with the V6 auto transmissions.
